This link has a KEP engine swap kit for sale to put a Volvo engine in a
Vanagon for those who did not hit the site. I wonder if the swap has ever been done.

This link also shows an "adjustable voltage regulator for Vanagon" for sale
"allowing 14.5 volts at the battery." for $26. Is this a common upgrade and at
all worth installing to deal with the voltage drop from the alternator all
that way up to the battery?
